Valentines Day In Ash Harbor

Rating this episode R for strong Romance Happy Valentines Day Everyone ;-)

Karenna & Andrew

Its been a few months since Karenna moved to Ash Harbor to be closer to her twin sister Stephanie. When she least expected it she met a man who swept her off her feet. Andrew Nixon. Andrew is a local timber seller here in the county. He grew up here in Ash Harbor and knows everyone including Chris. One day he came over to the family farm & they introduced Karenna to him. She swept him away an he hasn't been the same since that day. Spending their days together and their nights wrapped up in each other's arms. Karenna is falling in love but, she's afraid to say it because he hasn't said it yet. Today their going out to lunch and then hopefully some time for one another afterwards.. Andrew is ready to tell Karenna he loves her. She is smart, beautiful and sophisticated. She fits him like a glove. Like a perfect match & he cannot see his future without her in it.

After finishing lunch at a local Thai Restaurant they both enjoy, they come back to the farm. Finding a nice place to sit down, she stretches out the blanket she packed. Both can't believe how beautiful of a day it is for February. Low 70's its perfect weather. Andrew was leaning on his arm just admiring Karenna. Her beautiful face being warmed by the sunlight. Chocolate brown hair long and beautiful you wanna just run your hands through it.

Karenna is looking over smiling at Andrew. She can't see his crystal blue eyes thru the sunglasses but she knows their sparkling. His smile melts her every time.

Karenna- wow... what a beautiful day, gosh hard to believe its February.

Andrew- I know.. umm *cough* Karenna I... I need to tell you something.

Karenna became very concerned. When you hear those words, normally bad news follows it. He sat up looking off in the distance. She figured that he was about to tell her maybe that they could no longer see one another or something to the lines of that. Sitting up looking at him she swallows the bile in her mouth preparing herself for the worst.

Andrew was just as nervous and he knew if he didn't hurry up and tell the girl he loved her, she would probably run away.
Andrew- ummm... I...
He started to sweat a little and seemed shaky.
Karenna- You ok Andrew?
Andrew- oh yes, I am fine.

Then he turned his body a little so he could look into her magical eyes.

Karenna- your scaring me a little....

Andrew- I know I am.. I'm sorry. Its not scary at least I don't think.

Andrew- These last three months have been nothing but amazing for me. I feel like I've known you forever.

Karenna- I agree... its been the best time of my life. But, what are you trying to say?

Andrew- What I am trying to say is, I love you Karenna. So damn much.

If Karenna had been standing she would have fainted. These were the words she dreamed to hear. I love you.

As the tears puddled in her eyes she spoke.

Karenna- I love you too Andrew.

Andrew- you do? oh god I am so glad... Karenna I'm

Before he could verbalize any further of how he felt Karenna was climbing into his lap.

Karenna- I love you so much. I know it hasn't been long us being together but I do love you more then I thought I could ever love someone.

Andrew- Karenna, I love everything about you and I just don't wanna miss out on anything with you. There was many times recently I wanted to tell you but wanted to make sure it was the right time.

Karenna touched his soft face. Playing with the hair a little that came past his ears. He was smiling up at her and those eyes that made her weak had love pouring out of them. Could she have finally found the love of her life and her happy ending.

Pulling her towards his lips the two locked in a kiss that would set the world on fire. Andrew couldn't believe he found his dream woman. Her soft hands caressed his head lightly pulling on his hair. He felt so turned on.. She always did that to him. No other way then to spend Valentines Day with the one you love.

Andrew- Happy Valentines Day sweetheart.

Karenna- Happy Valentines Day baby....

Paul & Cheyenne

Valentines Day morning and Cheyenne was very anxious. After finding out they were pregnant with twins they wanted it to be a surprise and not know the sex of the babies. But, more and more they thought they wanted to. So while they were at their appointment today they would get to see what they were having. Paul was a twin so the chances were a 50 50. Paul's brother didn't make it thru birth. It always made Cheyenne feel bad he lost his brother. She would love to give Paul a little boy.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Walking in the living room, Paul had a bouquet of rose or his beautiful wife.

Paul- Happy Valentines Baby.

Cheyenne- aww babe, you made me heart pancakes and gave me a new purse... your just so sweet.

Paul- I love you baby, are you girls ready to go?

Cheyenne- yes, Claire keeps kicking off her boots so we finally got them on.

Paul- Claire bear you giving mommy a hard time.

Claire- dada

Paul- you ready to go see if your going to have brothers or sisters Claire?

Cheyenne- what if its two boys babe?

Paul- haha, well then you two will be out numbered.

Cheyenne- oh man, I know. well what ever they may be we will love them so much. I am so excited hunny.

Paul- I am too...lets go.

AT THE DOCTORS OFFICE

Arriving at the doctors office they get called into the room fairly quick. Claire is antsy in her daddy's arms.

The ultrasound technician comes in and gets Cheyenne ready for the ultrasound.
Cheyenne- I am so ready, I got things to buy and names to pick
Nurse- I am sure its hard to keep it a secret or have it be a surprise.
Paul was jut waiting patiently Claire is ready to get down and play. She's very active these days.

Nurse- ok, lets see here. Have they been active?
Cheyenne- oh gosh they keep me up half the night. Someone had hiccups last night.
Nurse- oooo alright you see that?
Cheyenne- oh yes... that .. what is that?
  

Nurse- well baby A is a little girl.
Cheyenne- really? oh Paul ones a girl!!!

Paul- oh you hear that Claire your having a sister!!!
Claire- babab

Nurse- ok lets see if baby B will tell us what they are.
A minute goes by and then baby B appears.
Nurse- ohhh looks like you have one of each!
Cheyenne- One of each? You mean.... Baby B is Boy?

Nurse- yes looks like you have a girl and boy. They are very happy an active.

In that moment Cheyenne had no words to express the love and joy she was feeling. It was overwhelming in a good way.

Nurse- look right there. See that's the little boy and it looks like their holding hands.

Cheyenne- oh gosh *sniffle* Paul

Paul- wow a boy and a girl. One of each.
Cheyenne- I know. Claire your going to be a big sister to a brother and sister.
Claire started clapping she was very excited it seemed too.

 Nurse- ok I am printing your pictures out and they will be ready for you. Congrats you two or maybe I should say three.
Cheyenne & Paul- thank you.

As the nurse cleaned up Paul and Cheyenne were in a state of shock. It was perfect. Their having a girl and a boy.
Paul- baby I.... I am so excited for this. Wow a boy I will have my little man.

Tears started to flood her eyes. This was beyond incredible and a wonderful present for Valentines Day.

Cheyenne got her self together fixing her top and grabbing Claire from Paul. She was ready for some lunch and her nap.
Paul- baby, I love you so much
Cheyenne- I love you more Paul. Wow were so blessed.
Paul- you are so right. God is so good isn't he
Cheyenne- he sure is.

 Paul- I guess we better figure out names huh?
Cheyenne- yeah. I mean I would love Piper for a girl
Paul- I like that especially a P for the start of her name.
Cheyenne thought about the other day if they had a boy how Paul would feel honoring his brother.
Cheyenne- so I was thinking how about now that we know one is a boy, we honor your brother and name him Collin?
Paul had tears coming down his cheek. He loved that idea and he was madly in love with this woman. She was increbile.
Paul- perfect I love it. Collin Finnick.
Cheyenne- and Piper?
Paul- yes we can figure out middle names soon.
Cheyenne- I love you Paul.
Paul- I love you Cheyenne forever.

Paul kissed his wife while Claire started to take a nap on her mommy.
CONGRATS YOU TWO!!!!

James & Julianna

James and Julianna were invited to a Valentines Day wedding for Dee Dee and TJack. They both have been working non stop and have the next three days off. They laid around and enjoyed each others company today.

James- Once were done with the wedding I wanna take you out.
Julianna- you do?
James- yes, how about we hit Club Shaffon
Julianna- the jazz club yes I would love that.

Julianna- I am going to go get a shower so we can get ready. We should leave in an hour to make it on time.
James- mmm how about I join you and ugh save a little water.
Julianna- your so corny haha.

Julianna giggled at James. Even though he could be corny she loved his sense of humor.

Crawling into his lap she couldn't help but wanting to get back under the covers with him. Having three days off together is going to be a wonderful Valentines present.

James- what are you thinking about in that little head of yours

Julianna- hmm wouldn't you like to know.

James- hahaha... woman you drive me crazy you know that.

Julianna- oh I do? How about you show me how crazy..

James rolled Julianna over quickly pining his hard sexy body against hers. She let out a little laugh and a sensual moan. There never was a moment when he didn't want her. Everything about her made him feel alive.

James- you sure about that shower?

Julianna- oh I don't want to but... I don't want us late.

James- ok later on when we get home were not leaving this bed until we have to go back to work.

Julianna- mmmm bossy.... I love it.

James- hahah ok go get ready my sexy fiancé

Julianna hopped up and headed for the bathroom.

A LITTLE WHILE LATER............

James was dressed and ready. He was playing with the cat and waiting on Jules to come out.

James- you ready to see what Mommy looks like to Minnie. I know I am...
Minnie- Meow

Julianna- Ok I am ready what do you think?

 James couldn't speak. He was speechless by the way she looked. A simple dress made her look even more stunning.
James- wow, you look....
Julianna- hehehe eat your heart out.
James-I wish we didn't have to leave that's for sure. Damnnn babe.
Julianna giggled she knew he was enjoying her dress.

Walking towards the bed she swayed her hips knowing it was killing James slowly.

Julianna- ok Mr. Hot Pants lets go!!!

The two arrived at the wedding reception. The bride and groom looked amazing. In a few short months it will be James and Julianna.

Julianna- more then ready.

James- I love you baby Happy Valentines Day.

Julianna- I love you too James, Happy Valentines Day...

JOSS & Storm...

Valentines Day was coming to an end at the Odyssey. Winter was wiping down the tables and Joss was counting the money out the register. The time couldn't go any quicker. Joss wanted to go home and drown herself in some Half Baked Ben & Jerrys Ice Cream.

Watching everyone leave with their significant other or lover, she had an ache that can't seem to be fixed. Storm was the one she wanted. Its been 15 years these two have been friends, but to Joss he was more then her friend. The two of them knew how one another felt. Only issue was Storm was with someone. He had been living with Karen for the last 3 years. She is hounding him to put a ring on it. Joss can't stand to see him with her.

Winter- so Joss do you have any big Valentines Day plans?
Joss- No, I actually really am glad its late & this holiday is coming to an end...
Winter- I know its not always a fun holiday when your single. I am going home to eat some half baked Ben & Jerrys.
Joss- haha I am too, good taste in ice cream.
Winter- yeah, well listen you working tomorrow night?
Joss- yeah till close.
Winter- I will see you tomorrow then. Happy Ice Cream Night...
Joss- ha you too girl.

As Winter walked away Joss heard the door open. She saw Storm come striding in. Since she got the job here at the bar he likes to walk her to her car to make sure she is safe at night. Natalie has cameras and such but you can never be too sure.

Joss- hey, I am almost done let me get you a beer.

Turning around and wiping down the counter a little more she reached for the long neck.

       ~*~

Storm no longer could take it. His palms were sweating and his heart was hammering like a jack hammer. He hadn't told Joss but, five days ago he got a loft apartment five blocks from the water on North Hampton which was only down the street from her. Striding over in all black like he always wore. He was on a mission and the target was Joss.

Smiling her beautiful smile always she slid the beer across the bar.

Joss-here is your beer. I will be done shortly I got to give Nat the money and I will be ready to go.

Storm- Joss

His strong tone left her lost in her tracks. Her heart was in her chest. Storm circled the counter coming in closer towards her.

Joss- Storm what's wrong your sweating? Is everything ok?

Storm- More then ok...

Joss- umm... ok well now I am worried.

Storm- Jocelyn Danielle Colton, I have been madly in love with you for 15 years. Every time I wanted to tell you, you were either involved or I was. But I am not hiding any longer. I need you, I want you and I don't want to waste another moment without you by my side.

Joss was taken back by the way he spoke and the fact he used her entire full name. But she couldn't pursue anything knowing Karen was in the picture.

Joss- *Sigh* Storm, I believe you because I love you too. I hate seeing you with her, but as long as you are we cannot be together.

And right there as firm and strong as he could Storm grabbed her face and his lips locked on to hers.

Joss could feel her heart racing and beating so fast. His lips were like molten lava and she was burning with desire. She couldn't peel herself away, it felt too good.

Once he pulled away he looked at her with those piercing ice blue eyes and said.

Storm- I left her, I am no longer with her.

Joss- ummm you... *gulp* left her?

Storm- haha, yes I have been dying to tell you, but I got a loft over on North Hampton. Five blocks from the water.

Joss shook her head like she was in a dream. North Hampton was on the other side of South Hampton. She lived on South Hampton.

Joss- you left her? and you got a place.

Storm- yes.... I want you Joss, forever..... Please tell me you will be mine?

Joss could feel the tears puddling up in her eyes. Storm was everything. He had been there when she lost her father. Taking her under his wing and the two had an unbelievable bond. Karen could not stand it. And any boyfriend Joss had he never stuck around because they could not handle Storm being around.

Joss- I, I don't know what to say...

Storm- just say you will be mine.

Joss- I want to be yours Storm.

Practically jumping in his arms, Joss grabbed his face and kissed him with an unbelievable force.

Storm- come on and close up... I wanna show you my new place.

Joss- ok, give me just a second.

Storm- hey Joss

Joss- yeah...

Storm- Happy Valentines Day.

Joss smiled, she was so down thinking what a crumby holiday it was. But it all changed when that tall, dark and handsome man came in and swept her off her feet.
